Digital Cabinet of Bragança Paulista

Bragança Paulista?s Digital Cabinet, was created in 2013, and is a channel that seeks to bring society and the state together via digital media and the internet. The experience is inspired by the digital cabinet developed by the state of Rio Grande do Sul. However, unlike this experience, Bragança Paulista?s Digital Cabinet offers only a Facebook page, and not an interactive portal with multiple forms of participation. On this page, the population may interact with the cabinet by: reading and sharing information on government achievements, prevention campaigns and frequently asked questions, that must be disclosed on a daily basis; sending complaints and accusations, that are received and analyzed by the press division and forwarded to the responsible sector at city hall; and offering suggestions to improve public services and make better use of resources.
